How about an obscure brand by a slightly less obscure brand?

Eclipse. Made for Pecco's cycle shop in Ontario by Devinci in Quebec. I think maybe two stores carried them? I want one.

Examples?

Cossack
Tecno Bike
Woom
BH

And maaaany more

Familiar name because he was a cycling champ, but not sure how famous outside Canada. Although they make a lot of mid level (and lower) bikes, they also make this, the Louis Garneau Garibaldi C Prohibition. I can't even come close to affording this 650Beauty

Mercedes Benz...obscure in the sense that I've never met someone that owned one, but, they make them quite often. The ones that catch my eye are these two...

One of these was at a Portland-area pawn shop for a while...they kept cutting the price and I kept trying to convince my younger daughter to get it as she was shopping around for a new bike (she ended up with a WallyWorld Schwinn that got stolen, and to this day it was her 'favorite bike ever' )...note, the amp research fork ...

...and the more common amp/mercedes collaboration...

That has Horst Leitner all over it ^

Alex Pong should have had his own brand, then maybe this bike would not be sitting at Cannondale HQ with flat tires.

 

[Dbubbleguy]

Paris Sport, imported from France by NJ seller, sold on East Coast/Mid-Atlantic.

Tyler- Polish import mid-1970's, East Coast

Road Puppy (my all time favorite bike name) Japanese folding bike, earliest models made in Occupied Japan. Many were brought back to USA by returning US Servicemen.
